Current State of the Practice of Software Testing
Panel Discussion Led by Ross Collard
 
There's a great deal of buzz about the future of software testing and quality. It is natural to speculate about innovations, trends and blind alleys—realistically, what works and what does not. Before we can understand where we are likely to be going or where we want to be, it helps to have a realistic sense of where we are today. This facilitated bonus session will be a hearty and illuminating exchange of ideas.
